Summer Getaway Horror Stories

Book a cabin by the lake, buy your theme park tickets, and put the finishing touches on your "halfling rogue" cosplay because on this edition of Octoberpod AM classic horror podcast we're going on vacation! Your horror host Edward October will be your personal tour guide on the all-inclusive summer vacation of a lifetime with stops at lackluster national parks, haunted theme parks, and horrific Renaissance Festivals.

First up: Edward October narrates Ernest Hemingway's humorous guide to vacationing in the great outdoors & shares some true horror stories from theme parks and amusements parks. Then, we'll take you on a tour of the WORST vacation destinations in the history of horror cinema. Plus: Haunted, horrific, ghostly, and ghastly tales from the Renaissance Faire & a ballad about wizardry gone horribly wrong. Featuring special guests Autumn Grube (Autumn's Oddities) & Amber Jourdan (Witches Talking Tarot).

Pack your bags because we're serving up disappointing fishing retreats, horrifying theme park accidents, tilt-a-whirl ghosts, Ren Faire stalkers, cosplay creeps, and medieval mayhem with VIP excursions to Transylvania, the fog-shrouded English moors, and the darkest backwoods of the rural USA on this edition of Octoberpod AM: the retro horror podcast for bold individualists.
